## Overview

The **`_.compact()` method** in Lodash is used to create a new array from an existing array by filtering out all the falsy values.

The following values are considered **falsy** in JavaScript:

* `false`
* `0`
* Empty string
* `undefined`
* `null`

## Syntax

---
``` js
_.compact(array)
```
---

## Parameters

This method accepts the following parameters:

* **`array`**: This is the array to be compacted.

## Return value

This method returns a filtered array.

## Example

Let’s look at an example of the `_.compact()` method in the code snippet below: 

// array to be compacted
const array = [0, 1, null, 2, undefined, 3, 4, 5, false, 6, 7, ''];

// compact the array
const result = _.compact(array);

// print result on console
console.log(result);

## Explanation

In the HTML tab:

* **Line 5**: We import the `lodash` script.

In the JavaScript tab:

* **Line 2**: We create an array and initialize it with a few values.

* **Line 5**: We use the `_.compact()` method to filter out all the falsy values from the array. 

* **Line 8:** We print the output to the console.

## Output

In the output, we see an array in which all the falsy values are removed.
